As a result of chromatic dispersion, refraction angles at optical surfaces can be frequency-dependent, leading to angular dispersion.
This effect can subsequently lead to frequency-dependent path lengths, which can again act like chromatic dispersion.
This is exploited e.g. in prism pairs or pairs of diffraction gratings for dispersion compensation.
Angular dispersion is also related to the phenomenon of pulse front tilt.

Send us nice photographs!

If you have nice photographs of laser devices, measurement equipment, optical components, etc., which are suitable for illustrating aspects in our encyclopedia articles, you are welcome to send them to us!

Researchers may also have photographs or drawings of experimental setups, microscope images and the like.

Such materials should of course help to illustrate aspects of general interest, rather than only very specialized matters.
We also do not accept pictures which are primarily advertising.

Of course, we always acknowledge the source of an image in the figure caption, so that you get your proper credit.
